The arrestment comes as the typhoon moves across the Luzon Strait, between southern Taiwan and the northern Philippines. Offshore and high-ground winds could reach hurricane strength.
Residents have started grazing up on rudiments. Supermarkets report a dearth of milk, vegetables, and other items. The Education Bureau has announced that all seminaries will close on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the northern Philippines is feeling Ragasa’s impact. further than 10,000 people have sought sanctuary in evacuation centres and seminaries.
The Babuyan islets, a remote group roughly 740 kilometres south of Taiwan, are among the worst-hit areas, with lower evacuations ongoing.
Southern China is taking no chances. Seminaries and government services in the Guangdong fiefdom have closed, and hundreds of thousands of residents have been evacuated from vulnerable areas.
Meteorologists advise that Hong Kong could see severe conditions on Wednesday, with destructive winds and heavy downfalls anticipated.
Residents and trippers are prompted to stay outdoors, follow sanctioned advice, and prepare for power outages and flooding.
The megacity waits tensely. Super Typhoon Ragasa is on its way, and its effects are being felt from airfields to everyday thoroughfares.
